Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

It is comical the amount of offense you take when someone pretty innocently says that he's happy that the team he supports won a much-anticipated sold-out game that went into overtime. His pretty mild comments deserved none of your mean-spirited retaliatory comments. Lots of people noticed that, and called you out on it. It had nothing to do with "sticking up for your school" since many who (you say) have "lobbed insults your way" stick up for that same school as adamantly as you do, but with considerably more tact and with a lot thicker skin.

That is absolutely not what the OP did. He came here to gloat and rub our noses in IU's loss. That was clearly the tone of the post. I guess the fact that I don't have a big stiffy for the "Butler Way" or their arrogant fanbase that trashes IU but can't even fill tiny Hinkle Fieldhouse makes me a villain in this community. So be it. You people are just going to have to deal with it or cry to a mod to ban me.

I get it, he hurt your feelings...get used to it, no one is "respectful" to each other and no one is going to get down on their knees to respect IU. You wanted to be the big dawg so you put a target on your back and somebody got you, stop whining and take your licks. Also please feel free to quote the post and no one has EVER MISINTERPRETED A POST ON THE INTERNET...

This is a complete fabrication of what the actual issue is. Nowhere have I ever communicated that IU commands respect or admiration from opposing fanbases. But a line is crossed when an opposing fan ventures into an IU thread to gloat. I did nothing extreme in response yet you babies have done nothing but **** and moan since.

It is pathetic that you had to craft a strawman to find a way to critcize me.

After the multiple pot-shots you took at butler i do not believe you can play the respect card.

get over yourself dude.

As far as I can tell, this is the post that set you off in a whiny snippy hissy fit:

"After all the **** I've taken from IU fans, this feels so freaking good. Its still just one game though. Onto the next..."

So let's summarize: he's taken a lot of flak in the past for liking a team that gets a lot less support, it was an exciting game, he feels good about the outcome, but he also realizes it was only one game, so in the big scheme it's not everything-- it would mean nothing if they blew the next game, for example, so he's moving on. Sounds like a mature attitude to me.

I don't get where you even see that as gloating or a post made in an unacceptable tone. It was a pretty innocuous remark that led you on a multipage tirade that has lasted a week now. You have some ISSUES.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

I was actually wondering that myself...has he been in Creans doghouse of sorts? Or is he just falling just falling into his role?

The Butler game was the first one he was eligible for thanks to nonsensical NCAA findings over a bumper sticker in 1992. If I were Crean, I wouldn't have thrown him out into the fire right away.

I am not a troll. He certainly is. I rarely say anything that isn't positive about the Pacers. I don't post about the Colts anymore, I just ignore them. I still hate IU and all of their sports programs and I admit that I root against them all of the time. I don't worry about them, the curse of the General, will last for a hundred years.... ...
